The ruling will set a precedent affecting how every Special Protection Area (SPA) in the UK is protected from mega-developments. A loss here weakens wildlife protections everywhere. Help us secure maximum legal firepower for the Golden Plover & Lapwing. www.crowdjustice.com/case/wildlif...

£14,060 raised! Less than £1,000 to go to protect ALL UK wildlife law. 🦆 Massive thanks to our 440 amazing backers for pushing us past the £14k mark! With 10 days left, we are entering the final stretch to reach our £15,000 goal. Remember, this Court of Appeal case is a National Issue.

We also tried to get protection for an area that met the requirements for Black Hairstreak 🦋 (& other species) but was told it wasn’t possible. Area was then heavily damaged. Tried to extend area of another SSSI by ~100m2 to include area of Orchids & told they were pausing work on SSSI designations
